I'm heavily leaning towards NOT POAS anymore until my beta Saturday. It's almost better not to know......
This bloody 2WW is killing me!!!
2ww...
I hear ya Iccin! I'm about "fried" with the 2ww! Last 2 nights I have slept about 3 hours...I fought the urge to buy the damn sticks...I know if I buy them and they are in the house I'll use them - I'm probably going to buy them Thurs evening and POAS Friday a.m. - by then that is 15 dpo and I think will be accurate...

Morning all!
I have 1 day left before my beta and the last 48hrs have been really hard. It's like you just want to know one way or the other. BUT I've always realized that I just can't handle another POAS Negative. After soooo many I just don't want to find out that way. My RE does our first Beta on 10pdt. I don't know if my beta will be higher since I did a 5day blast as opposed to a 3 day transfer. BUT either way.. I'm set for a low beta to start with.
*HUGS* One more day!! UUGGHHH! I had planned to stay out all day and stay busy but I'm stuck at home waiting on my hubby's birthday present to be delivered LOL! Figures!

2ww...
Hi Ladies! I am keeping positive thoughts for all of you. I got my second beta back today and it was 275. I hope that's a good number...all these crazy thoughts keep going through my head. I go back for a third on Friday and still very nervous. Feel like the 2ww was a bit easier because now I feel like I'm so anxious! Every step seems to bring more anxiety...I hope I can keep sane and not drive my DH crazy!
JustJenis and Kbat...will be thinking of you both tomorrow!
Iccin...I still think it's too early for you. Just a few more days to go...hang in there! I found from before that those sticks can be so inaccurate.
IrishHope...did you hear back from your nurse? I hope she was nice.
RunnerKate....hope your test went well today.
I'm going to my acupuncture session today. Anyone else doing acupuncture while on 2ww? I feel like it helps to keep me relaxed a bit until the next test.
Best Wishes for everyone!

Irishhope--so happy to hear that they moved your date to Friday. I don't think it's a bad thing not to tell dh. I think he'll be surprised to hear the good news about being bfp.
casey, great numbers!!!
I am having more cramping. I know mentally that lots of people have this cramping, but it's really starting to feel like af which if on schedule would be over the week-end. The first 2 cycles I had, it was really easy to know that it didn't work b/c I had a gushing af about 4 days early and before my b/w. Then the last cycle was hard because technically I was pregnant, but in the end it wasn't going to be viable and it seemed like I had to go in a million times and I just wanted it to be over w/ already (it was etopic and finally around week 5, I was able to take the medication they needed to give me.) But at least I was less emotional about it.
I hope that whatever happens, I just get an answer either way for sure. I am hoping these cramps aren't a sign to come. (Maybe I am just trying to prepare myself for the worse case scenario, but still hoping for the best.)

Listen girlie! I've got cramps to. They come and go but nothing like AF. AF cramps stay!! Plus I get a headache with her.. no headache. My hands are swollen. WE ARNE"T GETTING AF!!! See.. that was so simple. It's cramps. Everything I could find to read.. cramps are normal. Go on the Jan/Feb board.. TONS of cramps going on over there LOL!
It's our time Kbat.. Just try and stay busy.. or sleep like I've been doing LOL! It'll be here soon. I'm going in as early as possible tomorrow so that my crazy nurse (i love her) calls me asap. I told her that if she didn't call me first I'd hunt her down ROFL! She thought I was joking
*HUGS* Rent a movie... grab some popcorn.. and veg out momma! It's our time to glow.

2ww...
Hi Ladies! Thanks for your support.
Kbat and JustJenis...best of luck tomorrow. It's going to be your BFP day! And don't analyze the cramping too much. It comes and goes and I had that up until my test. I thought AF was coming too. Sometimes I still feel like they come and go. I feel like the progesterone causes a lot of these symptoms.
IrishHope and Iccin...you ladies are next with your BFP on the weekend! I'm glad you got your date changed IrishHope.
Best Wishes and keep up the positive MOJO!

Well, I am definitely BFP!! WOOHOOO!! The RE called and said I had a really strong beta 672 (or something like that, I was so excited!). Is that really high/ave./low for 14 DP 3DT? I hope I am the first of many for us ladies! I think I might go out and buy myself a "what to expect when you're expecting" book.
Kbat and JustJenis: Good luck tomorrow!!! Don't worry about the cramps...I have been having pretty bad cramps...JUST like AF cramps!
IrishHope: I am SO glad you got your test moved forward! Remember to buy REALLY sensitive HPT if you do them......I did First Response. Sleep now while you still can!
Just Jenis: Hmmm, must be the hormones. My hubby has been driving me crazy as well. This afternoon, after the BFP, he said "do you think we over-reacted and didn't really need to do IVF?" I almost killed him.
Iccin: Definitely wait a couple more days b/f POAS.

My god that is high, RunnerKate!
Forget about What to Expect when You're Expecting. Or read it with a grain of salt. Plenty of women I've heard feel it's just fear-mongering. I'm reading a Mayo Clinic book about pregnancy that's great, and for your dh, get Expectant Father. That book rocks!!
I can send you an article about how some women don't like what to expect if you're interested.
Congrats!
